ABSTRACT

The present invention relates to new crystalline salt forms of flibanserine which have valuable pharmacological properties, to a process for their manufacture, to pharmaceutical formulations containing them and to their use as medicament.

The present invention relates to crystalline salts of flibanserin, 1-[2-(4-(3-trifluoro-methyl-phenyl)piperazin-1-yl)ethyl]-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzimidazol-2-one, to a process for their manufacture, to pharmaceutical formulations containing them and to their use as medicament.

BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION

The compound 1-[2-(4-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)piperazin-1-yl)ethyl]-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzimidazol-2-one is known from EP 0 526 434 B1 and has the following chemical structure, depicted below as Formula (I)

Furthermore, the free base of this compound is known from EP 1 414 816 B1 in its polymorph B form, as well as a process for its manufacture.

The above mentioned patents further disclose the use of this compound for the treatment of different diseases inter alia for the treatment of HSDD (Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder).

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The aim of the invention is to provide new forms of flibanserin with advantageous properties for pharmaceutical use.

The above mentioned pharmacologically valuable properties of flibanserin disclosed in the prior art constitutes the basic prerequisite for effective use of the compound as pharmaceutical compositions. However, to be permitted for use as a medicament, an active substance must also satisfy further requirements, besides actually being effective for the desired indication. These parameters are largely to do with the physicochemical nature of the active substance.

Without being restrictive, examples of these parameters are the stability of effect of the starting substance under various environmental conditions, the stability during production of the pharmaceutical formulation and stability in the final compositions of the drug. The pharmaceutically active substance used to prepare the pharmaceutical compositions should therefore have great stability which is ensured even under different environmental conditions. This is absolutely essential to prevent pharmaceutical compositions being used which contain breakdown products, for example, in addition to the active substance itself. In such a case the content of active substance present in the pharmaceutical formulation might be lower than specified.

The absorption of moisture reduces the content of pharmaceutically active substance as a result of the increased weight caused by the uptake of water. Pharmaceutical compositions with a tendency to absorb moisture have to be protected from moisture during storage, e.g. by the addition of suitable drying agents or by storing the drug in an environment where it is protected from moisture. In addition, the uptake of moisture may reduce the content of pharmaceutically active substance during manufacture if the pharmaceutical substance is exposed to the environment without being protected from moisture in any way. Preferably, therefore, a pharmaceutically active substance should be, if at all, only slightly hygroscopic.

Another criterion which may be of exceptional importance under certain circumstances depending on the choice of formulation or the choice of manufacturing process is the solubility of the active substance. If for example pharmaceutical solutions are prepared (e.g. for infusions) it is essential that the active substance should be sufficiently soluble in physiologically acceptable solvents. It is also very important for drugs which are to be taken orally that the active substance should be sufficiently soluble.

The problem of the present invention is to provide a pharmaceutically active substance which not only is characterised by high pharmacological potency but also satisfies the above-mentioned physicochemical requirements as far as possible.

Accordingly, the aim of the present invention is to provide new crystalline salt forms of flibanserin, 1-[2-(4-(3-trifluoro-methyl-phenyl)piperazin-1-yl)ethyl]-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzimidazol-2-one, which are characterized by advantageous physicochemical properties, especially improved solubility in water and minimized hygroscopicity

In another embodiment the invention relates to a process for the preparation of the new crystalline salt forms of flibanserin as specified above under I) to XXIX).

According to the invention the compounds specified above can be obtained by

-   -   i) dissolving the free base of flibanserin and the acid         providing the anion for salt formation in a suitable solvent         (preferably TFE/water (80:20))     -   ii) mixing the free base of flibanserin with the acid at a         predetermined base/acid molar ratio, which is selected from 1:1         or 2:1 depending on the acid     -   iii) removing the solvent (e.g. evaporation under reduced         pressure)     -   iv) adding a suitable crystallization solvent to the residue         obtained by step iii), and heating the reaction mixture slowly         up (e.g. at a heating rate of about 5° C./min) to about 50° C.;         leaving it to stand for a further period of time (e.g. about 30         min)     -   v) slowly cooling down (e.g. at a cooling rate of about 5° C./h)         the reaction mixture to a suitable crystallization temperature,         (e.g. between 20° C. or 3° C.) and leaving it to stand until         enough crystals are formed     -   vi) isolating the precipitated crystals.

In the process according to the invention the free base of the compound of formula (I) is dissolved in a suitable solvent, such as TFE/water (80:20). The acid used for the crystallization is dissolved as well in a suitable solvent, such as TFE/water (80:20) (depending on the acid). The free base of the compound of formula (I) is then mixed with the acid at a predetermined base/acid molar ratio, which is selected from 1:1 or 2:1 depending on the acid. Then, the solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure. After evaporation of the solvent has occurred, a suitable crystallization solvent is added to the reaction mixture, and the reaction mixture is slowly heated up to 50° C. (e.g. a heating rate of about 5° C./min). Without being limited, suitable solvents for the crystallization are ethanol, tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane, n-mthylpyrrolidone, propyl acetate, methyl tert-butyl ether, 1,4 dioxane, 1,2-dimetoxyethane, water, 2,2,2, -trifloroethanol, chloroform, methanol, nitrobenzene, nitromethane, cyclohexanone, propionitrile, ethyl phenyl ether, diisobutyl keton, isophorone, water/ethanol (20/80), water/n-methylpyrrolidone (80/20), water/2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (20/80), water/acteone (20/80) and water/DMSO (80/20). After staying for about 30 minutes at 50° C., the reaction mixture is slowly cooled down (e.g. at a cooling rate of 5° C./h) to a suitable crystallization temperature, which is for example between 20° C. or 3° C. The reaction mixture stays at this temperature until enough crystals are formed, which can then be collected, for example by filtration.

The salt forms of flibanserin as specified above under I) to XXIX) were investigated more thoroughly by X-ray powder diffraction and thermal analysis (DSC). The diagrams obtained are shown in FIGS. 1.1 to 1.23. Tables 1.1 to 1.23 contain the data obtained in the analysis.

EXAMPLES Analytical Methods for the Characterization of the Salts

The harvested crystals may be characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and thermal analysis (DSC). If suitable single crystals grow, single crystal X-ray structure analysis may be performed. The following equipment was used to characterize the crystalline salts forms.

X-Ray Powder Diffraction (=XRPD)

XRPD patterns were obtained using a high throughput XRPD set-up. The plates were mounted on a Bruker GADDS diffractometer equipped with a Hi-Star area detector. The diffractometer was calibrated using Silver Behenate for the long d-spacings and corundum for the short d-spacings.

The data collection was carried out at room temperature using monochromatic CuKα radiation in the region of 2Θ between 1.5 and 41.5°. The diffraction pattern of each well was collected with an exposure time of 3-4 minutes.

Single Crystal X-Ray Structure Analysis

Suitable single crystals were selected and glued to a glass fibre, which is mounted on a X-ray diffraction goniometer. X-ray diffraction data were collected for the mounted crystals at a temperature of 233K using a KappaCCD system and MoKα radiation generated by a FR590 X-ray generator (Bruker Nonius Delft, The Netherlands).

Unit-cell parameters and crystal structure were determined and refined using the software package maXus (Mackay et al., 1997).

Thermal Analysis (DSC)

Melting properties were obtained from differential scanning calorimetry (=DSC) thermograms recorded on a DSC822e (Mettler-Toledo GmbH, Switzerland). The DSC822e was calibrated for temperature and enthalpy with a small piece of indium (T_(fus)=156.6° C., ΔH_(fus)=28.45 J/g). Samples were sealed in standard 40 μl aluminium pans and heated in the DSC from 25 to 300° C. with a heating rate of 20° C./min. Dry nitrogen gas was used to purge the DSC equipment during measurements at a flow rate of 50 ml/min. The melting temperature used was the T_(fus) (onset) temperature of the corresponding melting peak in the DSC diagram. The accuracy of the melting points specified is about ±5° C.

Hygroscopicity

IGAsorp water sorption monitor from Hiden Isochema was used for the analysis of the hygroscopical behaviour at room temperature.

humidity profile: from 10-90% r.h. in steps of 10%, sorption as well as desorption profiles were registered weight-in quantity: 10-20 mg

Solubility

Solubility of the different crystalline salt forms in water was determined by adding approx. 5 mg of compound into 5 ml of water at room temperature. The mixture was vigorously shaken for 2 hours at room temperature. Afterwards the undissolved solid was removed by filtering through a 0.45 μm PTFE filter, in the filtrate the dissolved amount of compound was determined by UV-spectroscopy.

Synthesis of the Salt Forms

The process is illustrated by the following example of manufacturing process of the salts and crystalline salt forms, as can be done in parallel in 96 well assay plates (maximum volume of each well is about 200 μl).

Approximately 1 g of the free base of flibanserin were dissolved in 10 ml TFE/water 80:20. The acids used to prepare the salts were dissolved in different solvents such that the molar ratio of the flibanserin to the respective acid was set according to the information given in Table 3 under “ratio base/acid”. Fumaric acid was dissolved in THF/water 80:20, HCl in water and all other acids used were dissolved in TFE/water 80:20. However it is to mention that all other solvents which are able to dissolve the acid used could have been used. The 96 well plates were then placed in a vacuum chamber (1 kPa) at room temperature for 24 h in order to evaporate the solvent. Afterwards, different solvents were added in each well according to the information given in Table 3 under “crystallization solvent”, and the well plates were sealed and heated up to 50° C. at a heating rate of approx. 5° C./min. The plate stayed then for an additional 30 minutes at 50° C. Afterwards, the plate was cooled at a cooling rate of 5° C./h to a final temperature of 3 or 20° C. according to the information given in Table 3 under “T_(final)[° C.]”. At this temperature, the plates remained for a holding time of 24 h. The plates were then opened and the solids were collected by filtration. All salts specified in table 3 were synthesized according to the above specification.
